MAURO BRESCIA INVENTOR ATTORN EY Patented Feb. 20, 1934 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2 Claims.

This invention relates to covers for vanity cases, compacts, lipstick holders, cigaret cases and other containers or cases worn about ones person.

It is one of the objects of the invention to provide a cover for such articles made of beads, pearls, or the like which can be slipped over them easily and conveniently.

Another object is to provide covers which can be made in color schemes to harmonize with ones wearing apparel.

A still further object is the arranging within a sales unit, of a case or other such article as above mentioned, together with a number of covers of difierent color schemes or styles to be worn as occasion demands.

Other objects will become apparent in the following specification and the accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is a plan view of a case having a preferred form of cover drawn over it, the cover being shown fragmentarily only;

Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view along the plane of line 2-2 in Fig. 1, the case itself being shown in outside view; and

Fig. 3 is a diagrammatic representation of a sales unit showing a case and several covers therefor.

Like characters of reference denote similar parts throughout the several views and the fol 3o lowing specification.

10 is a conventional case which may contain a compact outfit, cigarets, or other articles, consisting of a top half 11, and a bottom half 12, suitably hinged together at 13.

14 is the top half of a cover drawn over the top 11 of the case 10. In the form shown, the top half 14 is made of glass beads 15 and glass bugles 16. To shape it around the top 11 of the case, a row of beads 17 is placed immediately adjacent 0 the bottom edge of the top 11, and rows 18 and 19 adjacent the top edge of the top 11. These rows 17, 18 and 19 are cross connected by the bugles 16.

Similarly the bottom half 12 of the case 10 is provided with rows 17a, 18a. and 19a also drawn over the bottom half. The rows 1'7 and. 17a immediately adjacent the hinged section 13 of the case 10 are joined together by stitching 20. All of this is shown clearly in Figs. 1 and 2.

In Fig. 3 is shown a diagrammatic sales unit consisting of a box 21, having a case 22, and covare 23, 24 and 25 of different color schemes to fit the case 22.

It is clearly apparent that the invention is not limited to any particular type of covering. A variety of materials may be employed for this purpose, for instance, beads, pearls, ornamental textile fabrics, and the like. The covers themselves may have ornamental inserts, such as initials, miniatures, etc. While I have shown a preferred form of drawing, for example, a beaded cover over a case, this construction or method of fastening may be greatly varied to suit different fabrics, and if desired may even be glued onto the, case.

Various other changes in the form, proportions and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the principles or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention, so as defined in the appended claims.

What I claim as new, is:

1. In combination with a receptacle composed of hinged cup-shaped members, a removable cover over each member consisting of rows of beads adjacent its edges and corners, and rows of bugles connecting the said rows of beads.

2. In combination with a receptacle composed of hinged cup-shaped members, a removable cover over each member consisting of rows of heads adjacent its edges and corners, and rows of bugles connecting the said rows of beads, portions of adjacent rows of beads over each member being hinged together by stitching.
